MSI Wind review
July 2, 2008 on 5:51 am | 8 CommentsWell I finally got my hands on the MSI Wind which in my opinion is better than the eeePC. It compares closely to the eeePC 901 which hasn’t been released yet.
It uses the new intel atom processor and has an 80gb standard HD rather than a smaller solid state like the eeePC 901 uses. It’s slightly larger than the 901, but only just! They have made good use of the space to fit in a 10″ screen and a larger (more usuable) keyboard than the 901 by stretching it right to the sides of the chasis.
I haven’t done much testing yet but I can confirm it came with windows XP service pack 3 and it comfortably plays age of empires 2 and 3
To save battery I hit FN+F10 and it turns down the screen brightness and underclocks the CPU to 800mhz.
I took some pics comparing the MSI Wind to my macbook Pro and a 2g eeePC…
Oh and I also got it to run Backtrack3 from an SD card… Image 4
. How?
Boot the MSI wind into windows XP as normal and download the backtrack 3 usb ISO file.
Mount the ISO using free tools or use winrar to extract the contents.
Copy both folders (boot and bt3) onto the SD card.
Load a command prompt, change drive to the SD card.. in my case E:
CD to the BOOT folder and run the bootinst.bat
When the MSI wind is booting, press f11 and select the card-reader boot option
Quick post
March 19, 2008 on 6:50 pm | 3 CommentsThis is just a quick post with no real seo focus.
To start with, I have a special promo for Boysstuff this week! 25% of anything in their catalog. Okay their prices are a little high to start with but with 25% off they’re pretty good! Just use the coupon code RTN25 before 31/03/2008.
The old saying is that the way to a mans heart is threw his stomach.. the way to an SEOs contacts or knowledge also seems to be the same way as I recieved a box of kitkats today from SEOIdiot as a bribe lol! He knows I would tell him anyway but he does like to have his little jokes. So thanks for that
I’m going to be doing a few posts on targeted offline spamming</strike> I mean advertising soon. I’m sure everyone has thought about it before so keep an eye out for the future posts
I’m also going to start offering online versions of some of my scripts so you can use them quickly online without having to download them and put them on your own hosting
ukskydiving.com moan
February 21, 2008 on 2:31 pm | 5 CommentsUpdate: I have now made a few trips to the north london parachute centre without being able to jump. They stuff many people into each day then send a bunch home each time. AVOID THEM!
So 2 days ago I book a sky dive with ukskydiving.com who are “North london parachute Centre”.. North london my arse, it’s in March, Cambridge and cost me a ridiculous 4 hours travelling (1 hour into London then 3 onwards) and the ticket from London to March station was £77! What a joke, they want people to use public transport but its dog slow and costs a fortune. Fuck the environment, I can’t afford to care for the environment with prices like these.
The guys at the airfield said the weather has been terrible and unsuitable for days so I’m not sure why ukskydiving.com let me book it just 2 days ago knowing full well it was absolutely more than likely I’d be wasting my time and money. What a load of bollocks.
Buggy driving in vegas desert
December 9, 2007 on 6:07 pm | No CommentsDuring pubcon vegas I took some time out to go driving in the desert in a one seater buggy and MJ drove a 2 seater. It was absolutely crazy but a great experience.
The company was used for buggy driving in vegas was called Sun Buggy Fun Rentals and the deal is pretty good. It’s basically $300 and they will arrange pickup and drop off at your hotel, they supply you with all the safety equipment you require and give you 2 hours of ride time(we actually got about 3) and after the drive will give you bottled water and some food. You will also be given a rather bright tshirt..
Although it was great fun and overall very worth the money, I found some of their rules a little unfair. For example if you were to roll your buggy then they will fine you $500. The thing is these buggies have heavy duty roll cages and could easily take a roll without causing any damage at all, they’re more likely to get damaged when you’re speeding over small hills and taking off and landing hard like 10 times in a row than a roll in the sand. Although it’s quite hard to roll it, it’s not impossible and we did see it happen.
Its my birthday and I’ll cry if I want to
November 12, 2007 on 4:33 am | 5 CommentsWell It was my birthday and I turned upto the office to find a tin of strongbow, carlsberg and blackcurrent to make a snakebite in the morning wahey!!!!
I went out with good old mates in the evening to nandos, keeping it real with good quality and well priced food. Although the alcohol is a little over priced. A mate bought me the new radio 1 live lounge CD so I tried to get them to play it while we ate the food but supposedly the CD is “incompatible” with their CD system… rightttttt…
After the food we went onto a quality bar in Southend and bought a couple bottles of laurent pierre champagne. After buying a couple bottles of the champaigne and some shots they were happy to play my CD and put on some tunes which other people in the bar obviously weren’t enjoying all that much.
I went to the bar again at about 11:20pm and they wouldn’t serve me because their licence only went upto 11PM but after offering the bar guy £20 ($40) her sold us another bottle of champaigne which was cool, even if he did get all pissy about one poxy broken glass.
After the bar we went down to the casino and I logged my friends in as guests and we continued to drink ciders, shots and lagers.
I pulled one of the bouncers to a side and asked about strip clubs.. there was two He recommended and one was in Southend. Unfortunately the Southend one had already closed at half midnight so we drove to the Basildon one but when we arrived there they wouldn’t let us in because only half hour was left at the club so I offered some money to get in but they wanted £40 ($80) per person to get in, even though some other people were allowed in without hassle. So I told them they were trying to mug me off, especially since there’s only 30 mins left and it got a little lary. After two big guys and a smaller guy told me I should just leave I was happy to just say “Okay you were trying to mug me off but I know when it’s time to leave” so that was the end of my night.
It was a good birthday keeping it real in Southend
